I've got a tiger by the tail it's plain to see
|
I won't be much when you get through with me
|
Well I'm a losing weight and I'm turning mighty pale
|
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
|
|
Well I thought the day I met you you were meek as a lamb
|
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans
|
Now the pace we're livin' takes the wind from my sails
|
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
|
I've got a tiger by the tail...
|
[ guitar ]
|
Well every night you drag me where the bright lights're found
|
There ain't no way to slow you down
|
I'm about as helpless as a leaf in a gale and it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
|
I've got a tiger by the tail...
